چکیده:
The Quran, the final heavenly book, is established upon two dimensions: the exoteric (zahir) and the esoteric (batin). Certain specific individuals benefit from this awareness, and human society requires them to achieve those truths in the direction of spiritual transcendence. The school of Shiaism introduces its leaders as the embodiments of those aware of the exoteric and esoteric aspects of the Quran and believes that the Imam's knowledge, beyond ordinary science, possesses specific and divine channels and principles. Verses and traditions indicate the proof of the view regarding the connection of the Imam's knowledge to God the Almighty. The present article, using a library-based method and an analytical approach, aims to examine and prove how the Imam possesses extensive awareness and knowledge of the Quran. Understanding how the Imam is connected to the truths of the Quran will be revealed by examining the various channels and principles of the Imam's awareness of the exoteric and esoteric Quran, which is accepted for the Imam due to his ordained position.
